ThrusterLayout:

Path: Propulsion/Utilities

% Tool for thruster layout.

 Draws the plume vector in red and torque unit vector in green.
 It computes the feasibility of both positive and negative torque about
 all three axes.

 The locations must be with respect to the center of mass unless a cM
 is entered.

 Type ThrusterLayout for a demo of putting thrusters on a cube. There
 are 4 thrusters which is the minimum for 3 axis torques.

   Form:
   ThrusterLayout( 'initialize', fileName )
   [t, f, u] = ThrusterLayout( 'update', u, r, cM )

   Outputs
   -------
   t                 (3,:) Torque vectors for each thruster
   f                 (1,6) Feasibility for each torque
   u                 (n,6) Modulation of thruster for each vector
